are SNA clients
The SNAplus2 server provides the communications link to the host. The Windows PCs are congured as SNAplus2
clients so that they can continue to run their existing Windows applications, while also using SNAplus2 (or existing
third party) emulation programs to run corporate applications on the host.
3.7 Enterprise SNA Network
After adding all of the branch ofces described in this chapter, the Global Banks entire network is congured as
shown in Figure 37, Enterprise SNA Network. This network conguration enables users to communicate across
different networks seamlessly, supporting Global Banks investment in centralized host-based applications at the
same time that it enables off-loading of branch processing to the local ofces.
